Compliant Medical Software Development

Any ePHI (electronic Protected Health Information) must be encrypted before being transmitted. HIPAA-compliant software keeps sensitive health data encrypted during transmissions and the first step is to make it secure with SSL and HTTPS protocols.

HIPAA Risk Assessment Software

        One of the most important elements of the HIPAA Security Rule is the risk analysis or risk assessment. The purpose of the risk assessment is to identify all risks to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected health information (PHI). If the risk assessment is not performed, healthcare organizations cannot be sure that all risks have been identified, which means it will not be possible to reduce those risks to a reasonable and acceptable level through the HIPAA risk management process.

        Even though the risk assessment is foundational element of HIPAA compliance, it is one of the provisions of HIPAA that causes healthcare organizations the most problems. The failure to conduct an organization-wide HIPAA-compliant risk assessment is the single most common HIPAA violation penalized by OCR in its enforcement actions.

       The use of HIPAA risk assessment software helps to ensure that the risk assessment is completed to the standard demanded by HIPAA, by guiding organizations through the whole process and ensuring all identified risks are tracked along with the efforts made by the company to remediate those risks.
